Many would agree that suffering a burn injury is always painful and, at times, quite serious. Depending upon the circumstances of an accident and the severity of a burn, the experience can alter one’s life forever, as well as necessitate ongoing, long-term assisted care in some cases. In some North Carolina cases, a serious injury caused by another person’s negligence results in the injured person filing a legal claim in a civil court.

When a person suffers a serious illness or injury, those who care for him or her in recovery can be deeply affected by the experience. A patient who has suffered a life-changing injury such as a serious burn is likely to require ongoing, long-term medical care. In some North Carolina medical facilities, as elsewhere in the nation, there are special burn units which are designed to provide the unique environment and specialized care that has been shown to improve a patient’s prognosis.
